Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood

Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure

The graphics in Henry Hatsworth are extremely cute, with enemies that look like they were pulled straight out of a children's cartoon and character designs that are original and likable. The environments are mostly things you've seen before, but...

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Storyline incorporates tons of old and new characters ; Graphics and musical score are wonderful ; Platforming and world exploration are fun

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

What could be stranger than a Sonic RPG? A Sonic RPG developed by Bioware, a Western company. Nevertheless, it's here, and if the majority of the public can be believed, it's Sonic's last chance to show promise before he ends up in the dumpster. But in...

An odd and unique fusion of Eastern and Western RPG conventions, Sonic Chronicles is a difficult game to qualify. On one hand, it's weak when compared to other Bioware titles, and even some other RPGS, such as the easily comparable Mario RPG. On the...
